ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A Florida man has been named the new superintendent for Alaska's largest school district.
Board President Gretchen Guess announced Tuesday that Jim
Browder will lead Anchorage Public Schools.
Browder, formerly the head of the Lee County School District in
Fort Myers, Fla., and Steve Atwater, the superintendent of the
Kenai Peninsula Borough School District in Kenai, Alaska, were the
two finalists from a field of 150 applicants.
Both men took part in three-day visits to Anchorage earlier this
month.
Superintendent Carol Comeau earlier announced she will
step down June 30 from the high-profile post she has held since
2000.
